Clemson University Rhodes Hall Annex

A three story addition to Rhodes Hall Annex including flexible research laboratory spaces, a ninety-six seat auditorium, smart classrooms, faculty offices, and a three story atrium. The laboratories include those dedicated to research to support the Bachelor of Science in Bioengineering curriculum including tissue engineering, bioinstrumentation, and biomechanics. Sustainable features incorporated into the facility include daylighting, carbon dioxide monitoring, high efficiency filtration and increased outside air. Laboratory exhaust, including general and fume hood exhaust is routed through an enthalpy heat recovery wheel. Studies of chemicals proposed for use in the facility were analyzed to minimize the possibility of cross-contamination. Two independent fume hoods systems are designed to provide a work environment for other more toxic elements.
